The dir is made > so i am not sure if this is an OS problem or a design feature. let's assume that you can run the command mount -t nfs server:/usr1 /mnt at the command line. Why not try my $mount_msg = "mount -t nfs server:/usr1"; system( "$mount_msg $tempdir \n" ) or die "evil beasties....:$!"; and check that it's not the comma splicing issue there that is making it come out on the command line as mount-tnfsserver:/usr1"$tmpdir" comma splices are a bad way to make run on sentences, since they appear to be subordinant clauses, that never really graph out quite right.... 8-) ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
